Some Sheffield bin collections will be affected by the Christmas holidays, say the city council and waste firm Veolia.

Only households with a Monday bin collection will be affected because of the Boxing Day bank holiday. Homes with the normal collection date of Monday, 26 will have a new date of Saturday, December 24.

Collections on Tuesday, December 27 will be unaffected, however, and all other bin collections will take place as normal. Residents are advised to put their bins out for collection by 7am on their collection day and make sure the bin lid is closed to ensure collection.Paper and card including wrapping paper, Christmas cards, boxes and catalogues can be recycled in the blue bin. Small amounts of additional paper and card can be tied in a bundle, no bigger than the size of the bin, and put next to blue bins for collection.
